Energy management feature
• This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management

feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce
the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

• The energy management feature is designed to pay out webbing in a

controlled manner. This feature is designed to help reduce the belt
force acting on the occupant’s chest.

Safety belt extension assembly

If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is an 8 inch
(20 cm) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number
611C22). This assembly can be obtained from an authorized dealer.

Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too
short for you when fully extended.

WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the
shoulder belt across the torso.
